Note to self: remove gondola cars at night so they don't fall.
This is why bridges now cover the bottom 10-15 ft of support cable at the roadway level.
They used to have a section of the main suspension cable of the Verranzano Bridge at that little park right before the bridge in Brooklyn. As I recall, they were parallel strands on the inside, not twisted. At some point maybe they got nervous about advertising the structure and removed it.
